April 21 King Ed Garden

but first a quick look at my back forty tulip ... 

off to King Ed ....... this is my new "gas station garden" ...... two raised beds 92 and 91 ...... weather has been warm so thought I'd direct sow a few seeds .... here's Renee's Heirloom Misticanza (sown in back rock circle of bed 92)

and my Sugar Ann snap peas ready for transplant ...... nice deep roots

also deciding on which dahlias will be planted in Bed 91

April 19 Quick Check on Dahlia Tubers and ...,

a walk thru the blossoms 

tomato babies liking their new homes

dahlia tubers are firm and eyes have started to sprout on some ...... the Saran Wrap method has again worked well for me (almost too well, what to do with all these tubers)!!
